Students look at the history of filmmaking and seminal filmmakers such as Chaplin and Kubrick are explored. The stages of filmmaking including development, production, post production and distribution are taught as well as the different roles involved in filmmaking. Using this new found skill to “think in imagery”, students take their story from initial idea, through treatment to a finished shooting script for their film.

Filmmakers can cast their film from students in the acting program and/or the professional actors in our faculty.Working in crews, students begin to bring their visual stories to life. Through hands-on instruction, students learn how camera movement, visual arrangement, and editing patterns not only depict the action but also express the underlying drama. The fundamentals of filmmaking are taught including focus, exposure, lens perspective, slow and fast motion. Filmmakers experiment with how different shots such as panning, tilting, track shots and hand held can help tell their story. Each student will have a chance to learn the principal crew roles including Director, Camera Operator, Director of Photography, Assistant Camera, Boom Operator, Sound Mixer, Gaffer and Production Designer.Students edit their films in Apple Final Cut Pro, learning both the technical aspects of the editing process and the conventions and theory behind editing choices and styles. Emphasis is put on finding the ideal pacing for films and supporting material such as music, voice overs and titling to enhance the story. The course culminates in a Film Premier for an invited audience where the students transform their classroom into a cinema as well as create posters, trailers and invites for the audience. Students are guided in submitting their films to festivals including the prestigious National Film Festival for Talented Youth and through www.filmfreeway.com which gives you access to hundreds of film festivals around the world, many of them with no submission fees.The film program is separate from the acting program but includes excursions to all of the local sites including the D-Day Landing Beaches, Mont St Michel and the medieval town of Bayeux, home of the famous Bayeux tapestry which depicts the Norman Conquest.
